We are excited to report that God has blessed us once more. I am about 10 weeks pregnant (give or take a week). Jonathan and I visited our new OB practice and new doctor on March 31st, and my pregnancy was confirmed. We breathed a collective sigh of relief upon seeing the ultrasound (healthy sac, heartbeat, etc.). Jonathan's mom was here visiting, so she stayed with the girls during our appointment; and, she was able to witness their reaction to our exciting news. I had wanted to wait until I was about 12 weeks to share with the general public, but Hannah informed us that she absolutely could not keep a secret-- and well, I've already got a belly. I've been wearing maternity clothes for the last couple of weeks. If you know me, then you know that you can't whisper the word pregnant around me or I gain weight and begin showing. The girls are excited and asking lots of questions-- Hannah already wants a plan of action should I go into labor ("Who will stay with me? When will we come to the hospital?, etc."). I continue to assure her that we have a long time to think about that (haha). Madeline informs us that she also has a baby in her tummy.
We are thanking God for His overwhelming goodness, praying for a healthy baby/pregnancy, and anxiously waiting for May 28th when we find out the sex of the baby.

Praise the Lord for this blessing! We are very excited for all of you. The girls were precious in the video.
Lori, you know we are excited as well. So happy that your appointment went well and that you had a great babysitter to watch the girls! May 28th is not that far off (probably will seem like a long time to you!) and you'll be half way there. I hear the due date is supposedly Nov. 13. You could ask Baby Brooks to wait a day and share a birthday with Aunt Kim!
Awww. That video is too sweet!! :) Congratulations guys!!
What wonderful news! Congratulations!!! Happy Easter!
Wonderful! Praying for you, and hoping for a wonderful pregnancy and safe delivery... love you guys!
I have a "feeling" it's a boy :)
